Late In The Season...

It getting late in the year now, and it's time for me to consider seriously where and how I'm going to live here in Chicago. The cold is coming and there's no stopping it. The "Hawk" (wind) bites hard in the Windy City. Once called the Windy City because of the political long-windiness back in the day, it turns out to be true for swift winds off Lake Michigan in the winter.
The main hope of any homeless person is to get off the street, so as to not lose a body part to cold, or worst. It is always best to start earlier, because the rush to get into The Salvation Army, Christian Industrial League, and other such places during the cold season will reach it's zenith sometime in November. That's when the cold wind slaps reality into the minds of the reluctant (those who don't want to live in the before-named places).
I hope that the place I go to has computers on the property or somewhere nearby, so that I can keep up my blog.
One day soon, once I know where I am going to live, I'll post the phone number so you guys can call me, alright? Be sure to check out my business site and get some minutes on that cell phone, people! Next time...

Homeless,

Chicago winters are brutal. My first year there the wind chill was -70 degrees. Don't make us worry about you.

Of course, I am homeless in a different sort of way, staying with my Mother because I'm afraid to go back to Whistler.

By the way, I'm thinking about getting the surgery...

Hey Olive Duster!
Getting the surgery, eh? A new limb.

Mmmmmmm.

Will you still be the Olive Duster I've grown to know and love?

Even at my age, change is a hard thing to deal with.

On the other hand, go with the surgery and know that the HBM is cheering and praying for you!

Ahright?
